Friends,
We’re not quite ready to get back together on Wednesday’s and Friday’s in person. There are three of us with MS in our group that I know of that have had COVID now. As far as I know, we’re all three doing quite well with it. I’m pretty much all the way through it now, exercising every day and feeling pretty good again.  It didn’t really affect my MS at all. I’m thankful for that!  The other two are getting through it too. Cal is doing well too. Thanks for all your prayers!
Just when we think 2020 has been a challenging year; it just keeps getting more challenging for some. Last week, I received this e-mail from Sarah about her house burning down. Oh man!
From Sarah:
Dan,
Thank you for updates and positive outlook. Â Both help so so much.
 I have some very sad news to share and you may share with the group if you wish.  We are okay, but our house caught fire Sunday Night.  The smoke alarm woke us up.  We got out safely, but our home of 18+ years is not salvageable, nor are most of the contents within it.  We are living with my mom for the foreseeable future.
 We had bought a vacant lot in River West with plans to build an accessible home.  So we will move up that timeline.  This also give us something to look forward to.
 Our community has surrounded us, so we are in good hands.  Â
 Thanks for reading and be well.
Much love,
Sarah
Let’s keep Sarah and her family in our prayers. I’m thankful they’re ok and handling it as best they can. Stay strong and keep smiling Sarah! I know that’s not always easy to do. Please know we’re here for you. Let us know how we can help when the time is right.
We all know and love Adam. Adam has been telling me that he really wants to help people with MS in some way. Now keep in mind that MS has hit Adam really hard at a young age. I think he’s only 35 or so. Despite his challenges of living with MS like losing his eyesight and having his mobility affected drastically changing his life as he knew it completely; Adam has a sense of humor that just cracks us up.
As we’ve been doing or prayer group each week and praying for Adam, I thought he help all of us by sharing his awesome personality and sense of humor through a zoom meeting. I suggested that to Adam and I think I made his day. He would love to have some fun and share some humor with you.
Next Tuesday at 1:30PM, we will do a zoom event with Adam. It’ll probably go for a half hour or so and there will be some inspirational humor with Adam. I hope you’re join us!

I’m confident Adam will shorten the winter up and get us through it with a smile on our faces.
Last week, we had another amazing Zoom prayer group. I just love the way we share, pray together and witness prayers being answered weekly. Thanks goes to God and to everyone that joins us. Again…amazing!
Our Zoom prayer group on Wednesday mornings are a great place to get together virtually, catch up a bit and give thanks. Even though we can’t get together physically, it’s so nice to see all who joins us virtually. It’s awesome seeing so many of you there laughing, listening, sharing, giving thanks and praying!
We’ll be doing it again tomorrow (Wednesday) @ 11:30am. We’ll get together via zoom and share, talk, listen, give thanks, and pray in however God leads us. It’s a way for all of us to get together virtually to catch up and be there for each other and with each other. I hope you’ll join us!

My heart goes out to all the people and families of the people that have been affected by COVID-19. This is really getting serious and close to home. Whether actually having it, being exposed to it, being affected by businesses being shut down, losing your job, working on the front line, etc. These are tough times and we really need to take it seriously and do our part of practicing social distancing and all other recommendations. I hope you and your family are safe. Let’s keep everyone affected in our prayers and pray we all get through this as safely as we can.
As we all go through this pandemic together, I encourage you to share a smile with someone. Perhaps you could give someone a call that you haven’t talked with for a while just to see how they’re doing. This pandemic is tough in many ways. We all could use a little extra love and encouragement during these times.
Let’s be thankful for all the doctors, nurses and everyone in the health care that are putting themselves at risk every day and every night as they serve those with the Coronavirus. These are amazing, selfless, courageous people! Let’s also give thanks to all the people in the world that are working diligently to develop testing equipment and ways to treat this Coronavirus. Let’s also give thanks for all the people that are working diligently to produce protective gear, respirators, and any other medical equipment to help us get through this pandemic.
We may be inconvenienced in many ways but others have it much worse. Let’s be thankful we have each other. I know I’m thankful for you!
Let’s stay calm, focused, healthy, flexible, have faith and learn as much as we can about the challenges of each day and make good choices.
See you soon…better days are ahead!
Dan
